Just go out and vote, and Trump will go away.

They didn't say anything about fascism.

For the record, Hitler initially won power through elections, he did not begin the whole totalitarian thing until he was already the Chancellor.

The signs were there before he became Reichschancellor. People just didn’t think he and his party would basically rewire the whole German government into a totalitarian cult of personality. And then we all found out the hard way.

Welp, awesome meme, though I'm not white.

And I've already learned that lesson, having lived in Venezuela. Venezuelan people think that this year's elections will bring change - nope. As long as the authoritarians are in power, they control everything. Those elections are truly rigged.

The U.S. is different, though. Voting still works. For the people who don't believe this, I'd like them to explain how Trump lost in 2020 while trying to illegally stay in power.
